Oh, and it drives me insane.
Ds is 2.9, and typically, he will not answer and will avoid eye contact, ie
"X, it's time to pick your bricks up now, come on, let's get it done so we can go out!"
Silence. No movement.
"X, Mummy has asked you to pick up the bricks. Now pick up your bricks, please!"
Silence, no responce, no movement, carries on with whatever.
"X, pick up your bricks or we won't go to the park!"
Totally ignoring me now..
"PICK UP YOUR BRICKS OR I WILL THROW THEM IN THE BIN WITH THE DIRTY NAPPIES WITH POO ON THEM!!!!"
This is not parenting, this is bullying, I know this, but how on earth can I get him to listen to me?
I know he can hear me, I have a carrying voice, and he can hear the rustle of a crisp packet a mile away.
What am I doing wrong, honestly? Am I nagging too much? I have tried not nagging, but he doesn't take any notice then either. It isn't just when I am trying to get him to do something, he does it when I want his attention to tell him something too.
